New Louisiana Residents

If you've just moved to Louisiana from another state, you will need to transfer your out-of-state driver's license to the OMV within 30 days of becoming a resident. You must appear in person at your local LA OMV office with:

Your out-of-state driver's license or driving record.

Additional proof of your identity.

Your Social Security number.

Proof of your auto insurance, if you own a vehicle.

Payment for the licensing and vehicle registration fee, if applicable.

You will need to pass the vision test while at the OMV office.

NOTE: If your out-of-state driver's license is expired or suspended, you will need to pass the written and driving tests.
